From the President, June 2013: Pool Party!

Mark your calendars for July 6!

Your Westchase Community Association (WCA) is organizing a summer pool party for you at the West Park Village Pool. Entertainment, games, food, drinks, and great music will be part of the summer fun. This year we’ll even be enjoying the addition of our new pool slide. Join us and celebrate!

I want to thank the residents for another successful garage sale. We had more people selling food than during the past few garage sales. In one neighborhood we had traffic problems, causing the sheriff to take some action. That’s not too bad for almost 3,500 properties but we can do better. We hope to see fewer houses having bazaar-style sales and selling food items in the fall. I do enjoy a small glass of lemonade or a bottle of water on a hot morning. Next time, however, please refrain from selling food and hosting group sales. The sale of drinks, however, is OK.

Last month alone we sent hundreds of violation letters. Out of those that were sent, a great majority will take care of the indicated issues immediately. If you receive a letter from the WCA for a violation and have questions, just call the association office and they will point you in the right direction. On that note, if you have any comments, suggestions or questions about our neighborhood or association business, contact the association manager’s office and we will be more than happy to talk to you.

Summer is here and kids will be out of school soon. I therefore ask every parent in the neighborhood to look twice at intersections, to avoid texting while driving (texting while driving is now illegal in Florida), and to keep an eye out in order to keep our kids safe.
